#13Thwarted by paywall but why does there need to be a "study" on this? Can't you just gather this info from govt databases?
'study' doesn't always mean collecting primary data.
Shouldn't all news articles start with the word 'Study' then since all of them require some sort of data gathering?

#14Whenever I see "Immigration" in the title, i think anti-Trump and get sad. No one is trying to stop legal immigration. Tech companies are mad because they are cracking down on H1-B Visa abuse. This is not a bad thing.
The travel ban is 100% about stopping legal immigration.

Visa is different from Immigration, technically speaking.

The research involved conducting interviews and gathering information on the 87 U.S. startup companies valued at over $1 billion (as of January 1, 2016) that have yet to become publicly traded on the U.S. stock market and are tracked by The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones VentureSource.
The report runs on 30 or so pages and includes descriptions of companies with immigrants in key positions and, how they came to the US, and mini-bios of many of them.

As much as I'd like to see it happen the Trump admistration has stated that H1B reform is not a priority. I doubt anything will come of it. Just more bait and switch.

Really? Than why so many leaked memos show that Bannon and Miller want to reduce family Visas for those already legally here? Why is Bannon and Miller's favorite novel a racist French book about Europe becoming less white? Why when Bannon was interviewed on radio he said he wanted to bring the numbers on legal immigration way down?
You're fooling yourself if you think this is just about undocumented Mexicans, Muslims, or H1-B abuse. There's way too much circumstantial rhetoric that's been said that indicates this is something more and we invite peril if we don't harshly Critique it.

No, Bannon has explicitly said he wants to reduce the number of ethnic minorities running tech companies. This is independent of their legal status.

Did you mean no one in the sense that no one knows healthcare is complicated?
